Kitty Hawk Kites operates the largest hang gliding school in the world located in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It’s an experience you will never forget!

Learn to fly at Kitty Hawk Kites’ Hang Gliding Training Center. We are the largest hang gliding school in the world, teaching hundreds of thousands (over 400,000) of students since 1974!

We have taught students aged 4-92, male and female, physically fit and physically challenged. In fact, we can accommodate paraplegics, blind, deaf and other persons physically challenged. All we require is a desire to learn how to fly. We provide beginner, intermediate and advanced instruction.

Please Note

Participants under 18 must have a parent or guardian sign a waiver.

Tandem instruction is handicapped accessible, and we’ll try our best to accommodate anyone and everyone in our dune lessons.
